MGR: Welcome file changes

I've made the first change to the Phoenyx' welcome file in, oh, years and 
years, to let Hotmail users know about the bug that is apparently never 
going to be fixed, wherein if they send html-only messages there are no 
BODY tags, and thus nothing for the Phoenyx to convert.  No one should 
ever send HTML-only messages anyway; Hotmail is perfectly capable of 
generating multipart/alternative messages that permit recipients to choose 
the level of frippery they want to see.  (I imagine those are buggy, too, 
but the Phoenyx chooses the text version.)

If you want to see the welcome message again, send "welcome managers", no 
quotes, in the body of a message to majordomo@phoenyx.net.  You can 
replace "managers" with your own listname, if you prefer; if there's a 
file named "welcome" (no extension) in your files directory, that 
supercedes the system default for your list.

I'm open to rewording, if someone here has a Hotmail account and wants to 
give more specific instructions.
